JONATHAN EDER
"Chocolate"
"The Passion of the Unknown Commuter"
Prior to working in film, Jonathan Eder wrote, produced, and performed shortform theatrical pieces for stage and radio. In his videos, he quickly establishes character, setting, and the initial conditions of conflict. In incorporating abstraction into slice of life interactions, strange odysseys unfold precipitously in the complicated and bumpy terrain of human sexuality, relations between the sexes, and the quest for meaning.
BARA KIRKPATRICK JICHOVA
"Art Is ... "
"Mad Cow Story"
"Contemplating Weber"
"Existence"
Born in the former Czechoslovakia, Bara Kirkpatrick Jichova has a degree in fine arts and restoration and is currently at the Massachusetts College of Arts in Boston. Her work is influenced by Eastern European animation, Czech Cubism, Czech New Wave cinema, and dark humor. Bara works in time-based media and animation and is particularly interested in stop motion animation because of the painstaking process, the media imperfection, and the possibility to give life to material objects.
